Use a2ps.

Thanks, Matthew. a2ps seems to call html2ps internally, which cannot
handle the unicode in the document. That is, unless I am doing it
wrong:

$ html2ps calendar.html > calendar.ps
Returns a page with the incorrect encoding (UTF-8 as iso-8859-1).

$ html2ps -e utf8 calendar.html > calendar.ps
Returns a blank page.

I have also tried utf-8 UTF8 and UTF-8 but they all return blank pages.

Yeah, you seem to be right. That's even documented in the man page
("Currently recognized values are ISO-8859-1, EUC-JP, SHIFT-JIS, and
ISO-2022-JP (other EUC-xx encodings may also work).") If it actually
uses characters outside of ISO-8859-1, I don't have a solution. Take a
look at iconv, though.

What exactly do you mean? It misinterprets UTF-8 input as ISO-8859-1 input?

What's wrong with printing it from a browser??

I get gibberish like the eighth example on this page:

(warning: not English!)

Thanks, that's great! I installed it in a spare Firefox profile and it
works nicely. I had just discovered gnome-web-print which also does a
good job. Thanks!
